St Mary (former), Steam Farm Lane, Hatton Cross
This is a medieval barn, with some 19th century extensions that was converted to a mission church in the late 19th century. It was converted to offices in the early twentieth century. It now sits on its own opposite much new office development and Hatton Cross tube station on the southern edge of Heathrow Airport.

St Mary, Bedfont Green, East Bedfont
Despite being close to a main road and Heathrow Airport there is still a village feel around the church. The chancel and eastern part of the nave are Norman, with a later medieval extension at the east end, a wide north transept of 1829 and the western end of the nave and tower of 1865. The churchyard is famed for it topiary peacocks. Inside there are two 13th century wall paintings.

The parish church of Feltham, a good kilometre south of the town centre. It is a rebuilding of 1802 by William Walker. Norman revival aisles were added in 1855-56. Many fittings are modern as the old woodwork was condemned and removed in the 1950s.

St Catherine (former), High Street/Hanworth Road, Feltham
This church closed in 1975 and all that remains is the tower and spire attached to a building called St Catherine’s House. This was built as offices by Biscoe and Stanton in 1979-81 but is now a hostel for the homeless. The church was designed by Carpenter and Ingelow and built in 1878-80 but the tower was only added in 1898.

All Saints, Church Road, Isleworth
The old village parish church right by the River Thames. However only the 15th century tower and 1706 nave outer wall remain as the church was seriously damaged in arson attack in 1943. The church of 1967-70 by Michael Blee sits where the old chancel was, the nave being a courtyard with the aisle spaces filled with small rooms. There is a small Joshua chapel just inside the church (used as buggy store on my visit)
All Souls, Northcote Road/Haliburton Road, Twickenham
A suburban church of 1896-98 by Edward Monson

St Richard of Chichester, Forge Lane, Hanworth
Down a dead end road, a kink in the borough boundary keeps it in Hounslow rather than Richmond borough. It was designed by Leslie Channing and built in 1964. The worship space is connected to the hall on the left by a folding wall.
